Please note that all green strips shown in the photos are just green tape. They are not necessarily significant for the replacement of the buttons.

Step 6

              Remove the Metallic Panel

Using a Phillips #00 precision screwdriver, remove the five 3mm screws.
Using a plastic opening tool, slowly lift up the entire metal piece from the back of the camera.
If the panel has never been removed from the camera before, it will be glued firmly to the back panel and will require some force to remove. To prevent breaking the back panel, work the plastic opening tool under different areas of the metal plate until it is completely released.
There are two small magnetic blocks housed underneath the metallic plate. These are for securing the swivel screen in place while it is closed.

Step 7

              Remove the Menu Buttons

Once you remove the metallic panel, peel off the black pad from the buttons using tweezers.
Using tweezers, remove any button you need to by pulling on the plastic strips near the connection point to the back panel.
If most of the menu buttons need to be replaced, it is better to replace all of the buttons, since the plastic connector pieces break easily during removal.
